Even though it’s still early morning, here’s your LEGO feel good story of the day. If you’ve been in the LEGO community on social media the past few years, you may have heard the name Chris McVeigh, aka PowerPig, float around. One of his most popular builds are the Brick Sketches of various characters that have been featured by LEGO before. Yesterday, he has announced that he has [...]

I just thought I'd post a reminder that the first Reading Brick Show is coming to Rivermead Leisure Centre in Reading on 23rd & 24th February, i.e. this coming weekend.
It will bring together fantastic LEGO models made by the most talented builders in the UK and lots of fun games and activities for visitors of all ages.
The two day LEGO show will spark imagination, promote creativity and [...]

The 2019 New York Toy Fair is still going on but as far as the LEGO stuff is concerned, they only had a limited amount of things displayed. The main thing was the new LEGO Hidden Side theme that will be coming out later this year. If you didn’t know, LEGO Hidden Side uses an augmented reality system to bring the bricks to life, similar to LEGO Dimensions. The boxes of the sets were on displa [...]

Avengers: Infinity War features an outstanding selection of heroes. In fact, there was not room for them all in the earlier range based upon the movie. Fortunately, some absent characters can be found in the fantastic 5005256 Marvel Super Heroes Minifigure Collection!
These minifigures are exclusively available here and they look superb, featuring detailed printing on almost every available surfa [...]

The New York Toy Fair is taking place February 16-19, and for LEGO fans, this is an exciting event. Although the two earlier events – the London Toy Fair and the German Toy Fair – revealed some upcoming set names, numbers, and prices, pictures were not allowed (see: New LEGO Sets at the 2019 Toy […] [...]

LEGO has just announced the winners of the LEGO Ideas Second 2018 Review. That’s right, there are two winners in this round and they are Steamboat Willie by sxabomate90 and The Central Perk Coffee of Friends by Mric76. Both sets are expected to launch this year but LEGO is still working on the final product design and price point. Congratulations to both of the winners!
The post LEGO Ide [...]

The inconsistent distribution of the Bricktober minifigure packs inspired some disappointment last year and I think 5005256 Marvel Super Heroes Minifigure Collection was subject to particular attention.
Fortunately, it has been announced that this minifigure pack will be available with any purchase exceeding $75 from shop.LEGO.com and LEGO brand stores during the first week of March! This has onl [...]

The LEGO Movie 2 is still only in their second week in theaters but Target is already taking pre-orders for a Target exclusive Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital combo pack. It retails for $27.99 and the product description states there’s an exclusive LEGO mini-set and collectible packaging included as well. I’m not sure what the set could be but I’ll give an update when that information is ava [...]

The LEGO Ideas The Flintstones (21316) was officially announced yesterday and there has been a divide among fans of how the set came out. A few of you have asked me to compare the original project to the one that will be coming out later this week. I did have a clear look at the project when I was at Philly Brick Fest last year and here are my thoughts.
As with other LEGO Ideas sets, there are di [...]

LEGO’s core business is, as we all know, selling toys. But over the years, LEGO has grown beyond that. For instance, after the Dark Ages, LEGO started realizing, that it’s not just children that build with the bricks, but a lot of adults are too. This resulted in themes like Modular buildings and Architecture. When LEGO introduced Mindstorms back in 1998, it was meant to get children i [...]

We’ve already seen images and details of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition sets that will be coming out later this year. At the New York Toy Fair, LEGO has showed off an additional set in the form of a polybag. It is the Podracer (30461) which has 58 pieces and it pays homage to Anakin’s podracer and is a smaller counterpart to the 75258 version. There’s no wor [...]

LEGO Star Wars is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year and five sets are being released to mark this occasion. Each model takes inspiration from a previous set which is a lovely idea, although I believe some of the retired sets that were selected are surprising.
Now therefore seems like a perfect opportunity to discuss the Star Wars products which may benefit from an update. This artic [...]

Andrew Clark, the fan designer of Ideas sets 21304 Doctor Who and 21316 The Flintstones, has taken a few minutes out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions about his latest success.
Brickset: Now you've seen the finalised Flintstones set, what do you think of it?
Andrew: I think it does a good job of representing the Flintstones home and car in a way that meets LEGO's requirement [...]
